A mouth guard is an essential piece of protective equipment for contact sports.
It should be worn by athletes of all ages who participate in:
Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent structural damage to your teeth and jaw, and helps prevent injuries such as lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips. Mouth guards also have been shown to decrease the risk of concussions. Mouth guards are available in most sporting goods stores, but you should be careful when purchasing a mouth guard. Commercially made mouth guards do not offer the best level of protection. They also are usually ill-fitting and uncomfortable. For the highest level of comfort and protection, you should visit Dr. Firlik for a custom mouth guard fitting. A custom mouth guard is created specifically for the optimal protection of your mouth. It is created from a thin plastic that is hardened to protect your teeth. The thinness of the custom mouth guard allows for easier breathing and easier communication on the court or field. It also will help ensure that you maintain the highest level of performance on the field or court. To request an appointment for a custom mouth guard fitting, call Firlik Family Dentistry at (616) 361-0603. |
